No route matches?

Hi all,

I'm coming from the PHP world and I'm trying to learn Ruby and Rails. I'm having a problem where I keep getting the error "No route matches / home/view" even though I have it defined it. I'd appreciate any help on this. I'm using rails 3.0 and the setting for the environment is "development".

# routes.rb Site::Application.routes.draw do   get "home/index"   root :to => "home#index" end

# home_controller.rb class HomeController < ApplicationController

  def index     @page_title = "Home"   end

  def view     @page_title = "View page"   end

end

and I have two view files in app/views/home: index.html.erb view.html.erb

can you reach to index action, or it is inaccessible too?

I just defined a route:

get "home/view"

And it works... But I'm wondering if I HAVE to define a route for every page on my site. I was assuming if the controller/action existed it would just show it?

I can see the index action if I go to /

If I go to home/index, I cannot see the page unless I add get "home/ index" to my routes

My routes file looks like this:

# routes.rb Site::Application.routes.draw do   root :to => "home#index" end

# home_controller.rb class HomeController < ApplicationController

  def index         @page_title = "Home"   end

  def view         @page_title = "View page"   end

end

and I have two view files in app/views/home: index.html.erb view.html.erb

Have a look at the rails guide on routing ( at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ ). All should then become clear (or at least less muddy). Check out the other guides also if you have not already done so.
